Background
α-smooth muscle actin, encoded by ACTA2, is expressed in abundance in vascular smooth muscle, comprising 50–70% of total actin, with the remainder composed of β-cytoplasmic and γ-actins. Whereas α-smooth muscle expression is normally restricted to smooth muscle cells, it can also be expressed in non-muscle cells, most notably myofibroblasts that use cell traction forces to remodel extracellular matrix.

Immunohistochemistry

IF shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded human colon. Anti-alpha smooth muscle Actin (Cy5 Conjugate) antibody was used at 1/100 dilution (magenta). Counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IF staining protocol.

IF shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded human prostatic hyperplasia. Anti-alpha smooth muscle Actin (Cy5 Conjugate) antibody was used at 1/100 dilution (magenta). Counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IF staining protocol.

IF shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded mouse stomach. Anti-alpha smooth muscle Actin (Cy5 Conjugate) antibody was used at 1/100 dilution (magenta). Counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IF staining protocol.

IF shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded rat stomach. Anti-alpha smooth muscle Actin (Cy5 Conjugate) antibody was used at 1/100 dilution (magenta). Counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IF staining protocol.
